no. i was never really a fan of dungeon crawling anyway. i got the annual pass for the beta invite. D3 was icing on my cake. i tried it out. it was interesting, but i hate downing a challenging boss and getting gear that would help my lvl 14 alt more then my lvl 50 main. so it lost me after Nightmare. truth be told, if it didnt come free with the annual pass, i wouldnt have bought it anyways.

Not unless substantial improvements are made that overlook the horrendous forced story line and absurd RNG itemization drops that force people to use the AH or pure luck to gear up.

So basically you want the game to not be at all like D2? D3 had it's flaws, but those weren't them. The RNG of loot was actually worse in D2, it's just that D3 gave you a significantly faster and better route to gear with ideal stats (AH) which made the RNG loot look really really unappealing. In D2 it was pure luck or trading and hope you didn't get scammed. :P I'll give you the story though.

Currently most of the issues with D3 have been fixed decently, aside from the auction house which they can't really get rid of. I'll probably buy the expansion but I can't say for sure until I see what they're planning. Even with it's flaws I got more play time out of D3 than I do with most other games, so assuming the expansion is priced as an expansion and it provides a similar length/level of entertainment it would be silly for me not to buy it.

i cant wait for the expansion. doesnt matter what blizzard will do ill buy it blindly. spend 300h on diablo so it was worth it. other games that you pay 60$ are worth playing 20h max.

Sure diablo 3 aint perfect but its a good game, with some tweeks to the itemisation the game can be great. I would ad a cap on stats like crit cap at 30% so people wouldnt just go and buy crit on every item from ah and then complain that theyr drops are shit if they already bought the best possible gear:P

I enjoyed Diablo 3 but I won't buy the expansion. I got D3 because I loved D2 so much but what I expect from a video game has changed, especially since I'm nearly 30 now. I don't want or need a grinder to sink hundreds of hours into, I'm old enough to have a job, relationship, and hobbies to keep me busy now.

I'll only buy it if it improves the game more so than D2's expansion did. Hope they add in dual-analog controller support as well so my cousin will pick it up, hell, even I might play it like that. Clicking to move is archaic design at this point unless you're a point n' click adventure.

I'm not sure yet. I absolutely loved D2, and played it for a long time when I was younger. I think I went into D3 with too high of expectations, and was thus disappointed with it. I haven't played it in a while, due to not having much time at all, and using the small amount of time I do have primarily for WoW. I'd like to go back to D3 at some point and give it another chance before I decide.

It's going to depend on what the expansion offers. I remember how much fun I had when D2 got its expansion. If there is something that brings the fun level up a bit in D3, then sure, I will give it a shot. If there isn't anything new that grabs my attention, I won't pick it up right away, or maybe not at all.
